He did not hit you. He did not bump you. He RUBBED you. Rubbing is racing!

Lol.. That was nice of you not being too hard on the old dude..

I'm from NY, was born and lived there for many years... Public transportation is the only way to go in the big apple.. Let the cabbies fight it out in the city.. Not worth the risk..

...... well, I'm over 70 years old ..... ..... but, I'm not grumpy ..... and I can't drink beer anymore (since about 18 years ago, when I tried to drink up all the whisky in North America), so, I don't have that excuse ....

I've often said, after listening to some old coot tell stories about stealing buggy whips, that if I ever get THAT old ....., someone just shoot me ....

Story time:

Back in the day, my younger brother was visiting us in Connecticut. Since he was in the produce business he wanted to visit some of his distributors at Hunts point in the South Bronx. We decided to drive down. He said he had heard it was a rough area, should we arm ourselves.

I explained that we couldn't take handguns into NYC, but he should grab a good feeling club off the woodpile near my driveway. On our way down, driving through a part of the South Bronx, he commented it looked like a war zone.

After we entered the guarded produce distribution point and he finished his business, we headed out. The gate guard waived us over and had us stop. He said wait for a semi-tractor trailer, so you can "draft" him out to get up onto the expressway. (Do you know where this is going?)

Yep, a lot of the times the truckers got paid in cash for their produce and the bad guys knew it. So, once they left the safety of the compound, the streets were signaled such they didn't have to stop on their way to the expressway.

So, stick behind the big rigs AND DON'T STOP.

My brother ask, what the hell are the clubs for .. ??

I told him they were for poking the bad guys in the face if they tried to get inside the car.....

Trus story ....... sorry for the flashback .....
This is for real???

I have been debating on driving through NYC on my "Drive across North America" plans but I just absolutely hate driving in NYC (I've been there for work).

But they trade-in their cars for street legal golf carts and use those for going to Wal-Mart.

Actually, it turned out to be a good experience.

There I was, a white guy, dressed in a suit, with a brand new car, stopped on a dark street, coming from the airport ... out of gas (damn rental company) about 11:00 PM.

Four young black men approached me and explained that I was in a dangerous part of town......I thought I was gonna be dead. The nice men escorted me up the street to a gas station, where I borrowed a gas can and bought a some gas. They escorted me back to my car and saw me safely on my way. Nice fellows!

Now, I gotta go, finish my oatmeal and take a nap ....

Agreed.
It looks like you're in Phoenix, huh? We're in Gilbert, transplanted from NYC (Astoria).

I'd kill to have the NJ, NY and CT drivers on the roads here instead of what we have now.
